Why?!

I never realized that life is so fragile until today...
My auntie dropped the bombshell,
telling us that our cousin brother is diagnosed as a lung cancer patient.
It is not an April fool, it is the truth and I have to accept it; but how?
He was the only male cousin which I found comfortable communicating with,
he was the only one who never says no to my requests,
the worst thing is, he is getting married on 12/4/08...
I really couldn't accept this fact that he is going to leave me sooner than I thought.
Now, the only thing I can do is to pray for him. Why am i so useless?!
Life is short, really...
No one can predict what is going to happen next second,
and yet we have to live on with the fact that we are going to die soon.
I thank God that I am sure where I am heading to,
how about my friend and my relatives
More importantly, how about you?
I'm very worried...
